In this time of uncertainty, there’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope — that together we can do extraordinary things.
In this time of uncertainty, there’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope — that together we can do extraordinary things.
That’s why we’re supporting RestoringVision on #GivingTuesdayNow, a new global day of giving and unity that will take place on May 5, 2020 – in addition to the regularly scheduled #GivingTuesday in the fall – as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. The day is designed to drive an influx of generosity, citizen engagement, business, and philanthropic activation in support of communities and nonprofits around the world. It’s a day when everyone can come together and give back in all ways, no matter who or where you are.
On this #GivingTuesdayNow, organizations and people all around the world are giving hope. Together they are strengthening communities, supporting nonprofits, and giving back. At Readers.com, we are proudly supporting RestoringVision, the largest nonprofit provider of reading glasses to people in need around the world, as they continue to work on behalf of the most vulnerable – people who are navigating through these trying times without the ability to see clearly all due to lack of access to available, affordable glasses in their communities.
For people living in disadvantaged conditions, a pair of reading glasses can make an immediate and significant difference in their ability to take care of their health, as well as stay productive, keep their job, and be ready to reenter the workforce equipped with what they need when the immediate crisis is over.
RestoringVision’s goal for #GivingTuesdayNow is to raise $150,000 to provide readers to 150,000 people living in impoverished communities around the world, including the U.S. and Latin America. RestoringVision has already secured a matching gift of up to $150,000 to leverage during its #GivingTuesdayNow campaign. This gift will magnify the impact a single donor can make and allow for 2 individuals in need to receive reading glasses for every $1 donated.
Please consider joining us in making the extraordinary happen today. A single $5 donation will restore vision to 10 people in need. Provide readers to the most vulnerable through RestoringVision by visiting their dedicated donation page.
